Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi everyone, A few months back you may have noticed that I put up a poll regarding motorised instruments; how much you'd pay for them, what you'd expect, and so forth. Well, I'm very pleased to announce the release of me and my father's first (and hopefully only) business. https://sites.google.com/site/realitysimconversions/ We are a small business that specialise in Flight Simulation Hardware. We sell converted real-world instruments that have been modified for simulator use, and at a much lower price than other hardware sites. All of our products will require pre-purchase of the Opencockpits USBServos Card; but instruections are included on how to get everything working, even if you're not an exper in SIOC or anything like that. Just to re-iterate; we sell instruments and gauges that have been taken out of REAL serving aircraft, and covnert them for simulator use. No plastic/artificial parts; these are the REAL thing for your Sim. In no way is this site affiliated with Mutley'sHangar.com. All purchases take place via email/on Realitysimconversions.co.uk. Currently, we are not selling any items. we hope within the next month to have a stock of around six instruments. We do not make parts to order. Thank you very much for reading this unique post, and this business venture will NOT interfere with any of my other hardware projects nor slow them down. Because we don't make parts to order, we work at our own pace and can open/"close" whenerv. regards, Jack PS: Site is a Google site (used well within terms) and is still being constructed.

ddavid 149 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Good Luck, Jack - thanks for the heads up. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Good Luck Jack and Martin! I guess you will eventually have one of those flight sim motion platforms on offer? Keep us updated on your progress. Cheers, Joe Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,013 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Congrats to you both on setting up your wee venture. I am eager to see what becomes available and more to the point....the cost of your products. Looking forward to maybe buying one or two items. Regards and good luck Needles Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks very much Brian, Joe and Dai! @Joe - Ohh yes... A very difficult product to engineer but nonetheless we will try :biggrin: . @Brian - Thanks for your interest! regarding the cost, yes I can certainly guarentee they will be cheaper than many alternatives... For example SimKits Gauges or FlightIllusion gauges... At least 25% less (almost always more). Please note though, that whilst our Instruments are "ready to use", you will need an Opencockpits USBServos Card: http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/servo-motors-card-p-42.html?cPath=21_32 I appreciate it's £30.. However, the great news is that each card supports SIX Servos; therefore SIX Instruments. That means you'll only need one card for every six Gauges you buy. And don't worry you won't need much SIOC experience... All files and instructions are included free with purchase :biggrin: . Kind regards, Jack Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi everybody, Just a heads up. A Gallery and Purchase page has been added, and the website has been generally updated. It looks much better now. https://sites.google.com/site/realitysimconversions/home Still no products on sale; but that will soon change! Link to post Share on other sites
